Chelsea Set For Fight With Top European Clubs To Sign Gimnasia La Plata Star Fabian Rinaudo


Chelsea will have to battle the cream of Europe for highly rated Argentinian holding midfielder Fabian Rinaudo, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

The 22-year-old enjoys a growing reputation in the game, after a solid season with current club Gimnasia la Plata. Compared to Liverpool's Javier Mascherano, the combative holding player has reportedly caught the eye of Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The club will have to move quickly if they are to capture their man as the diminuitive youngster reportedly has a number of admirers around Europe. Spanish side Valencia have reportedly already tabled a £5 million bid for his services, while Galatasaray, Napoli and Juventus have all been linked.

In the past Everton have been tipped with an offer for Rinaudo, although the Toffees are likely to be muscled out by the increased competition if a bidding war starts this summer.

Rinauldo has been capped for Argentina by manager Diego Maradona, and is on his provisional list of players that could be in his World Cup squad.
